We have been going to Taco House on Federal since the early 70s. My brother absolutely loves Taco House. He moved up to Washington state and whenever he would come and visit, that was the first place we would go to after the airport. He missed it so much. On his 40th birthday, I bought a tray of enchiladas and rice and sauce and had to pack it in dry ice to ship it. It cost me $175 to ship that to him, but it was well worth it and he was so happy to have it.

I can’t be sure but I remember coming to Taco House at a young age, so possibly starting in 1958. My Mom loved the Burrada. It was always the No 4 dinner for me. My daughter was very young at the time and I once ordered her a single cheese enchilada. She wanted a burrada, just like Grandma. The waitress (oh I wish I had learned her name) decided she could get a mini-burrada. From then on that’s what my daughter got. We moved away in 1986 and I actually had withdrawals, as I was eating at the Taco House 3-4 times per week. I will forever miss the original Taco House that I grew up in.

I'm very sad to hear about this. I don't care what anyone says, I love me some Taco House burradas and enchiladas, I love the sauce they make. I don't know maybe it's Nostalgia that keeps me liking the Taco House but the memories I have going there to eat all the time with my dad and my brother and sister as a child, pretty regularly and then becoming a teenager and actually working there and then becoming an adult and still loving their food. Say what you want, but there's a reason why they've been there for over 60 years. YOU WILL BE MISSED.

My family has gone to taco house as long as I can remember. Stories have been passed on about my dad and his best friend eating legendary amounts of tacos here, celebrations and memorials have been had at taco house, I even came out to my family in taco house. When I lost my God Mom, my family went to taco house because it was her favorite restaurant and we told stories about all the times we had been there. Taco House is more than a restaurant to my family. I don’t care if that sounds cheesy because it’s true. It’s a place soaked in memories that I hope to someday bring my future children.

I'm sad to hear the OG is closing. I'm 51 years old and memories will forever stay in my heart. As a child my family ate there many times , my older sister worked there when I was maybe 1? But I remember eating the taco burger , sitting at the table next to the booth closest to the kitchen and always staring at the small glass "showcase" of different beans I believe . I can still picture how it looked way back then. Aww this is sad. We still enjoy the number 4 and the burrada at the 13th and wads location but the Federal location will forever hold the best memories for me.
